Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Potatoes

    Peel the potatoes and cut them into thin strips or desired shapes for frying. Rinse the cut potatoes under cold water to remove excess starch. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they fry properly.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer, pour in the vegetable oil and heat it over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the oil by dropping in a small piece of potato; if it sizzles, the oil is ready.

Frying

  1. 3

    Fry the Potatoes

    Carefully add a handful of the cut potatoes into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pot. Fry them for about 4-5 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain.

  2. 4

    Season the Fries

    While the fries are still hot, sprinkle them with salt and any optional seasonings like paprika, garlic powder, or black pepper, tossing gently to coat evenly.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve

    Serve the papas fritas hot as a side dish or snack. Enjoy them with your favorite dipping sauce!
